Huh?

Lemme try again. The problem with porn is not what videos are available but that its being used as a replacement for sex with another person which is bad for human sexual health. Why do you insist on adding all the extra arbitrary bull**** to an otherwise reasonable argument?

objectively the people who said it would lead to depravity (by their standards) were correct. We're a depraved society by their standards. So are we arguing about whether the slope is real or whether it's taking us somewhere good?

It's a weak justification for the idea that it's evil or destroying sexuality.

That is a problem, not the only problem.

But like I said the fact that it's used that way also helps shape the content provided. And the fact that it's readily provided also provides more opportunities to delve into that particular fetish. It's called a feedback loop.

didn't answer my question, but OK

maybe I was being hyperbolic.. I would say if I had to guess I think it's having a negative impact on sexuality though.

Instead of telling you that your leading questions aren't useful in discussions I've decided to just ignore them.

Why isn't it useful? There's a distinction to be made between you arguing that the slippery slope doesn't exist vs arguing that it doesn't matter that it does exist, I'm just trying to find out which side of that question you're on.

Cause to bring up the old Christian arguments to discredit me only works insofar as we've radically changed over time and now we're better off for it(by our standards). But the radical change still happened. So the people warning that it's a slippery slope weren't wrong about that. We just disagree with them about whether the outcome is positive or negative.

Because it's a false dichotomy intended to lead me to the same conclusion as you so that when I go back on it you can accuse me of being a big phony. I implore you to consider my actual point:
